CLUVFY is a tool that tries too hard to make difficult clusters simpler. No surprise it misses the point with SFRAC. I document these sorts of topics in our install guides as well...

Do you mean CRS or CLUVFY?  

I have installed several RACs on RH4 UPDATE 4, and if I remember right I did install at least once on RH4.0 UPDATE 3, didnt have much problems.  

My experience with CLUVFY is that it has some limitations, I remember the last time installing RAC with Veritas SFRAC, CLUVFY gave all sorts of errors. I finally gave up and just started installing without any problems. Since then I am quite reluctant with CLUVFY.
